Perth Glory have confirmed 11 player departures following the conclusion of the 2023-24 Isuzu UTE A-League season.
Co-captain Mark Beevers is set to leave the club at the expiration of his contract at the end of June, and is joined in heading for the exit door by fellow centre-backs Aleksandar Susnjar and Darryl Lachman; Lachman won the Most Glorious Player award in 2022, awarded to the club’s best and fairest player each season.
Bruce Kamau, Antonis Martis, Jayden Gorman and Jaylan Pearman are also set to depart the club at the end of their current contracts.
Meanwhile, winger Stefan Colakovski‘s time in Perth is over after two seasons at the club. Glory confirmed both Colakovski and full-back John Koutroumbis have opted to leave the club to pursue opportunities overseas.
Salim Khelifi, who joined Melbourne Victory on loan from Glory in mid-season, has had his contract terminated by mutual consent, while Glory academy product Josh Rawlins, who rejoined the club on loan this season, has returned to his parent club FC Utrecht.
A statement from the club wished all 11 departing players the best in their future endeavours:
“Perth Glory would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to all the players who are moving on for their valuable contribution to the club and wish them all the very best in the next stage of their respective football journeys.”
